xxxnt7,

If you are worried about the cost of this hobby you should walk away while you still have your sanity. This hobby can be inexpensive to get into but then the addiction begins and the next thing you know you can't count the planes you have in your hanger using both your fingers and toes, and maybe someone elses also. Run while you still can or just get what you want, don't worry about the cost because you will be in poverty the rest of your flying life anyway. Have a good time and BUY, BUY, BUY, and then BUY somemore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck,
